Chicken Cacciatore – A Quick Healthy Meal

Between work, taking care of the kids, walking the dog, running errands, spending time with family, exercising, and having personal time, it is often difficult to make a delicious, well balanced, and healthy meal during the week. I put together this recipe based on a pre-made cacciatore simmer sauce I used to get from Trader Joe’s for an easy weeknight meal.

This simple and healthy version of Chicken Cacciatore will satisfy your craving for Italian and can be put together in about 30 minutes. I like to serve it on top of whole-wheat spaghetti, cooked al dente for a lower glycemic index, with some steamed broccoli
on the side. Serve it over spaghetti squash or sautéed spinach and use gluten free flour for a gluten free alternative.

2. Spread enough whole-wheat flour to dredge chicken on a plate, sprinkle in salt and pepper. Dredge chicken on both sides and place in pre-heated skillet. Cook, undisturbed, on both sides until golden brown 4-6 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
